For me, one of the most attractive features is that it incorporates elements of 
a programming language, and that distinguishes it from other packages.
I'm thinking of the IF statements, and the While/Endwhile and Do/While loops 
which let me take decisions, as well as the decent Repeat structure. All a joy 
to use, and providing a very capable programming environment.

As others have noted, LinuxCNC allows a programmer to control pretty much 
anything (and I would add "elegantly").
